If anyone wants a beer I'll be at evergrain from about 430 till close Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I know brother. I don't just base what I say off phone calls from family, internet stories, or just the view out my window. I actually go out and put in my own work and see for myself. It's definitely a unprecedented scale.

Nah......

Do it right.

Still no power. Estimated back tomorrow evening atm but you never know, sometimes BGE manages expectations I think then gets done sooner. Over 16K "customers" affected still in Harford, the most anywhere, still a lot of outages all over.

That is certainly the way it looks. Yeah, some MC influence is still lingering, but the nino obviously still has a lot of room to run too. It'll clearly be improved over 2023. And like you said that is what actually matters for this year.

Observation about this area is that there’s always some critter that dies in the backyard whenever we hit 100° or more for an extended period. Two days ago it was a chipmunk, but in the past had squirrels, rats. Maybe the old critters can’t handle the heat when it first hits. I can always smell a dead carcass when I go in my back yard.

12z HREF has a 10% chance of 8"+ rainfall just to our north in PA. Yikes. That's how you flood out a mountain town.

Flood Watch for Baltimore / Annapolis and points north and east from 5 pm this evening to 1am tomorrow. Looks like a couple of remnant boundaries floating around.

There's an Extreme Wind Warning in effect for Rota now: Extreme Wind Warning MPC100-052030- /O.NEW.PGUM.EW.W.0010.260705T1833Z-260705T2030Z/ BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED Extreme Wind Warning National Weather Service Tiyan GU 433 AM ChST Mon Jul 6 2026 The National Weather Service in Tiyan has issued a * Extreme Wind Warning for... Rota... * Until 630 AM ChST. * At 433 AM ChST, Doppler radar indicated catastrophic winds associated with Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) approaching from the east, are imminent over the entirety of Rota. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION! TAKE COVER NOW! Venturing outside can result in DEATH from flying projectiles. Unreinforced structures will be destroyed. Utility poles and associated power lines will be down, posing a risk to life. * Locations impacted include... Sinapalo, Songsong, Annex F, Tenetu, I Chenchon, Liyu, Ginalangan (Chudan), Taimama, Tatgua, Matpo, Gampapa, As Niebes (Nieves), Talo, Makmak, Agatasi (Payapai), Lempanai, Gayaugan (Kaan), Gagani, Mananana and Finata. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Widespread destructive winds in excess of 150 mph are expected. TAKE COVER NOW! Move immediately to an interior room in your shelter. Take action now to protect your life! The safest place to be during catastrophic typhoon conditions is in a reinforced interior room away from windows. Get under a table or other piece of sturdy furniture. Use mattresses, blankets or pillows to cover your head and body.

If Super Typhoon Bavi were a hurricane hitting the U.S. Atlantic/Gulf coast, it would be the second-strongest on record to make landfall with that 180 mph maximum sustained wind (between the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Camille). I'm not sure what the strongest tropical cyclones to impact U.S. territories as a whole are, and where Super Typhoon Bavi would fall on such a list, but assuming it makes landfall on Rota (provided that the center crosses the island, which seems quite likely at this point, although you can get eyewall impacts without a proper "landfall"), Bavi would have to be among the strongest. I'm over here picturing widespread damage equivalent to an EF-3 to EF-4 tornado (if not EF-5 when considering gusts) across Rota when this is all over... God help them. It's a small island entirely surrounded by warm ocean, so there's no land to weaken this typhoon.

One of the things I was not prepared for when we moved from Michigan to "the south" was how paranoid people are of snakes down here. I don't know if it's religious or what the deal is, people are so weird about them down here.

The power outage numbers over here have not so much as moved an inch all day. I've never seen it this bad. Hotels are charging $150-$300 a night. It's ridiculous Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Seriously??? Yeesh that stinks

Reevaluating, my thought, I guess it would depend on how you look at , if you're just talking about the few streets in Harrisburg that got hit by a tornado in 2009. Then, sure.

Google’s forecast last night showed a window around 7pm.

Definitely a bit questionable the further north you get into MA. Right now I'd favor somewhere sothern half of CT for highest amounts and watch the trends. Up here in west central Maine where I am for vacation it will be a shutout.

So far I have not been the beneficiary of any of these storms for any rainfall, but the outflow boundary was very welcome. Dropped the temp from 93 to 78.

Thanks Ron. Have a laughlvulin on me

I am sure @CAPE will agree with you. WPC and Mount Holly both too bullish on rainfall.

Absolutely. In fact that is where the dead ash tree in the streambed is a series problem. . The culverts were blocked a year ago and padot got in trouble by padep for cleaning out the Jordan creek too well.

I'm just over here saying that whenever you see most (all?) of guidance spitting out some big numbers, it usually happens somewhere in a roughly CWA-sized area. The difficult part here is that this could be anywhere in the BOX/ALY/OKX CWAs.

If today happens, it's going to be a late show.

The tree damage in the area blows 2009 away. There's not even any comparison to be had.

We are back home from western PA. Caught the tail end of some storms between Somerset and Bedford but otherwise was smooth sailing. I have .37” in the gauge from the weekend storms. No signs of any damage in our neighborhood.

Couple large limbs and branches down on our property from yesterday, but thankfully no damage. My wildflower bed is hurting after the wind - the pitfalls of chaos gardening. CAMs printing some hefty rain totals over Long Island in the short range. 12”+ in some cases. Some big rain potential down this way too. Currently seems maxed out at 6-8” in isolated spots. I’ll just take some steady rain today please and thank you.
